A collectively run, not-for-profit bike space-Recycled bikes sold on a sliding scale
-Free access to tools and recycled parts (we'll show you how to use them if you don't know)
-Anti-car infoshop
Attention all swashbuckling cyclists! Corsairs on cranks! Freebooters with freewheels!
Though we haven't battled with imperial navies (yet!), doesn't mean we don't know the thrill of top speed sailing through a sea of concrete and asphalt, of banging together a ramshackle vessel and pedalling it to the
ends of the earth, of realizing we don't need THEIR transportation, THEIR tools, or even THEIR laws! And for those of us who've more than once thought that those two skinny tires sometimes feel more like a roaming pirate republic, we present our most ambitious project yet;
A new bastion, one part workshop, one part renegade trading port. This is our pirate utopia.
Bike Pirates will be open every Saturday and Monday from noon til 5pm at 457 Bathurst St.

nice text and nice thinkin
let Jah bless you
very cool!
DC may be too expensive for such a venture....
but
I was thinking that DC's Chain Reaction would do well to have days or the week or nights where they host various COOP opportunities
like build a fixie night
or
single speed for fifty bucks...
something like that
get some exposure to the not-for-profit shop
and
get the bikes that have been donated back on the road
